ThePirate (Japanese:海賊Pirate) class is an axe-wielding, seafaring class that has appeared manyFire Emblem games. The main traits of pirates are their ability to useaxes and to be able to travel on water terrain.
InShadow Dragon & the Blade of Light, there was only one playable pirate,Darros. In the remake,Mystery of the Emblem, Darros was omitted and the Pirate class became enemy only; it was also enemy-only inGenealogy of the Holy War andThracia 776. In the GBA games, pirates became playable again withGeese inThe Binding Blade,Dart inFire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, andRoss can change class to a pirate inThe Sacred Stones. InPath of Radiance andRadiant Dawn, the pirate class is absent, although some enemies of the bandit class refer to themselves as pirates, and can travel on water. Finally, Darros reappears inShadow Dragon and returns inNew Mystery of the Emblem.
Pirates generally have high strength and speed, but low defense and resistance. They often turn out to be powerful units, and can be useful attackers. However, their low defense leave them more prone to death than other units.
TheCorsair class is a functionally identical class unique toFire Emblem: The Blazing Blade.
